Having your own swimming pool at home is a luxury that can add aesthetic value and selling value to a residence, besides that, if the owner of the swimming hobby will of course be a special attraction to do a swimming exercise routine. The condition of the swimming pool that is always clean will be more pleasant, comfortable, and healthy, However, having a swimming pool requires a great responsibility to carry out regular maintenance and cleanliness because a dirty and poorly maintained swimming pool can affect various problems such as poor quality water, moss, cloudy and very dangerous to the body which can cause the risk of itching, irritation, diarrhea and others and this cannot be underestimated and must be overcome immediately, sometimes pond water that looks clear is not necessarily clean because water can contain a lot of bacteria and germs that develop in the pool.

All the dirt that settles in the pool is one that must be cleaned so that the water quality is balanced and this is an important factor to maintain the durability of the pool, but before cleaning the pool, it is necessary to have enough understanding so that the creation of a clean, healthy, and safe swimming pool will feel great benefits in addition to being used as a swimming pool, it can be used as a pre-wedding event, family gathering, party event and other events that use the backgraound of the swimming pool, for that so that the event is not disturbed and runs smoothly, it is necessary to know several common reasons why the pool becomes dirty and smelly, including:

Poor Water Circulation

A very important point that should not be overlooked is about water circulation because with water circulation it can process filtration properly and function optimally, but all of that is of course supported by the type of selection of a water circulation system that suits the needs of the swimming pool, then in terms of size, position of the environment around the swimming pool and of course the budget owned. This water circulation system is included in the piping, electrical, and construction systems that must be done and planned with a mature process so that the overall system can work well, smoothly, effectively and efficiently so that it can support cleanliness and maintain clearer water quality however, if this channel experiences problems, immediately make repairs in detail and carefully. Poor water circulation in the swimming pool results in dead spots and what happens is that the water becomes stagnant which causes the condition of the pool water to accumulate a lot of dirt, moss, water discoloration, the appearance of algae growth and the rapid reproduction of bacteria so that over time it will cause an unpleasant odor.

Inadequate Filtration System

The filter system plays a role in filtering all particles of dirt and bacteria that come from leaves, dust, the human body and so on so that the filter is an important component in a swimming pool, if there is a swimming pool that has an inadequate filter or does not run properly generally occurs due to the inability to filter the existing water discharge so that it causes water to get dirty quickly and moss easily sticks to the floor and walls of the pool, so that a filter capacity is needed according to needs, especially in ensuring the size of the filter with the volume of water and the flow rate of the pool so that the filter can run effectively so that it is able to maintain water balance. There are many types of water filters that are practical solutions to keep water quality clean, clear, more optimal and choosing the type of filter can be adjusted to maintenance preferences.

High pH Acidity Level

A high pH of the water indicates that the swimming pool water changes color, smells and is dirty so that it causes instability in the water condition so as to reduce the effectiveness of chlorine, then algae, bacteria, germs and other microorganisms are more and more numerous and the level of organisms easily and quickly multiply which makes the water become cloudy and turn green.

Rainwater

When the rainy season comes, of course, the owner must pay more attention to the condition of the swimming pool because it can affect the water in the swimming pool, rainwater falls and goes directly into the swimming pool so that the water contained in the previous pH changes and usually rainwater also flows into the pool through the gaps of plants in the area around the pool of course, the rainwater contains a lot of dirt which results in an increase in the volume of water, especially in the outdoor swimming pool, if this is not immediately addressed and water chemical control is not carried out, the condition of the swimming pool becomes unmaintained, dirty, the appearance of mosquito larvae and many more microorganisms appear.

Waste from Organic Materials

Various organic matter impurities around the swimming pool such as fallen leaves, plants, insect pests, wood branches, etc. can contribute to entering the pool, especially when the owner has a swimming pool that is not closed, this organic waste decomposes on top of the pond and sinks in and decays quickly so that the visible impact is real, namely from the characteristics of the water turning dirty and contamination from organic waste will be more so that if not cleaned properly, it can experience an increased growth of microorganisms, bacteria, germs, and odors that pose a risk of disease to the human body.

Giving Swimming Pool Chemical Water Is Not Appropriate

Cleaning and caring for the swimming pool is an important action to be done regularly and before starting to clean it, first read the rules of use or manufacturer’s instructions to determine the benchmark for the use of chemicals with the size of the swimming pool, this is so that the pool water is created at the ideal level, maintaining the stability of water quality is kept clear, chemical balance can help prevent the growth of organisms, harmful algae, and more effective treatment, but on the other hand, if the combination of chemicals is not right, it will give serious problems and have a bad impact such as the swimming pool does not look beautiful again, quickly damaged, triggers irritation, sore eyes and so on.

Human Factors

The swimming pool after being used by swimmers can affect the condition of the swimming pool, how can human factors such as body oil, urine, sweat, sunscreen mix or contribute to the organic matter in the pool, therefore it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning and managing properly and correctly so that the pool does not smell and dirty.

Lack of Maintenance

Cleaning that is rarely done even though the swimming pool looks like it looks fine, but with such a situation, don’t think that the swimming pool is free of dirt because the pool water is not clean, it can be seen from internal factors such as the appearance of microorganisms which over time if not cleaned algae can multiply, and in terms of external factors, for example, garbage is scattered, so clean it by taking garbage on the surface of the water and around the swimming pool, brushing the entire floor and walls of the swimming pool thoroughly, vacuuming the floor and applying appropriate chemicals.

Conclusion:

It is important to know the understanding of the causes of dirty and smelly swimming pools so that swimming pool maintenance can be maintained properly by selecting the appropriate solution, after which regular maintenance efforts are needed such as ensuring the control and checking of water pH, filtration system, circulation system, and other components that function properly according to their respective functions so that the swimming pool remains clean, It’s clear, comfortable, safe, and fun, and it’s key to preventing those problems.
